Board your comfortable coach upon hotel pickup in Taipei city in the morning, and relax during a scenic drive along the mountain road to Shiding, a rural district of New Taipei City.



Located in the south of Shiding District., Thousand Island Lake, also known as Qiandao Lakeo in Chinese literally means a lake with thousands of islands. It shares its name with the famous attraction in Zhejiang Province of Mainland China, the catchment area of Feitsui Reservoir surrounded by many hills creates a similar scenery specifically from a nearby overlook next to the reservoir.



The natural terrain and climate make the surrounding area of Feitsui Reservoir an ideal farmland for tea-growing, including the well-known Wanshan Pouchong and Dong Fang Mei Ren (aka Oriental Beauty Oolong Tea), where the noted tea plantation Bagua Tea Garden is located. From the top of the hill, the neatly planted rows of tea look just like the symbols of Eight Trigrams.



Continue your half-day tour through a 15-min drive to Pinglin District, where the famous Wanshan Pouchong is cultivated. Your guide and the tea instructor will explain the culture, history, and how to properly brew Taiwanese tea during your visit to Pinglin Tea Museum or Pinglin Old Street (first Monday of every month). Here you also have a chance to taste the various samples of teas.



Your tour ends with return transport to your Taipei hotel in the afternoon.
